I cannot believe this tweet is still up. @RadioPacifica @WBAI you are being so Trumpy and trashy right now. You’ve insulted one of the most talented, respected, and respectful voices of New York. Apologize. Delete the tweet. Act right.
In case they finally do delete it, here is the garbage tweet from @WBAI in New York to @jsmooth995. It has a record-breaking 100:1 ratio of replies to retweets. They’re like the World Cup Ratio Champions. It’s petty, dumb, unprofessional, and self-destructive.
Oh, I missed this. Damn.

I have tried to use my voice for good, but I've lived and spoken a good long while without shining a light on the heinous behavior of R Kelly. I've listened to his music and stepped in the name of abuse. That ends now.
The 6-hour #SurvivingRKelly series includes over 50 interviews and began last night, continuing tonight and tomorrow. Check it out
"Lifetime’s #SurvivingRKelly ... feels like a plea sharply directed at Kelly’s current fanbase and those in his industry who’ve remained shockingly silent on the allegations." themuse.jezebel.com/in-surviving-r…

Last week in NOLA for #nytcities, I got to explain an emerging theory @elizinmotion initiated about how and why people from the suburbs are breaking our cities even as they redevelop them. #livingwhileblack
I also shared a bit about the myth of exceptional black kids I'm often considered part of.
In cities, black people are like "the placeholders for future artisanal food truck industries." More on my theory of what's happening to our cities

Looking for site/app/service that calculates area within X-minute public transit commute (for NYC). I've asked before. Wondering if there's new stuff out there.
I've not been clear. I am trying to make a radius map. I want to create a border (virtual!) around a point based on distance reachable within X mins. I can imagine it would work by sampling a set of points in all directions and iteratively approaching my target time
simplest would just be to drop a circle around the point and assume a constant rate of travel regardless of direction. this is somewhat helpful but far more would take terrain and roads into account. Dream would be to adjust this dynamic radius based on walk vs drive vs transit

Now that billionaire child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein is back in the news, it seems like a good time to take a closer look at allegations that Donald Trump raped a 13-year-old girl at Epstein's Manhattan home in 1994.

Trump is more than overdue for his #MeToo reckoning...
Important caveat: I am an activist and an attorney, not a journalist. I strongly encourage journalists to explore this further.

These claims got little attention because the accuser has remained anonymous. But new details uncovered by @MiamiHerald on Epstein bolster her story.
“Jane Doe” alleges Donald Trump sexually assaulted her on four separate occasions, culminating in a rape when she was just 13 at Jeffrey Epstein’s mansion.

Her evidence? Three sworn declarations – from her, a friend she confided in at the time, AND one of Epstein’s recruiters.

One thing that leaps out at me from this amazing, fascinating thread: How much of the chatter about the people of North Sentinel Island has assumed that the community has no history.
The assumption that neolithic peoples live outside of time and history is incredibly widespread. "Incredibly," because a moment's thought will make clear that the assumption is false, must be false.
What @RespectableLaw has written in this thread is the halting, fragmentary start to a history of the Sentinelese people over the last 150 years.

It's art up for review in opinions, of course I'm going to gravitate towards something shared with interest, when he didn't say a word for 2 days! Why was he there? #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
I went through every single video he released in hip hop to understand him not saying a word. Easy to work out, he's a very bitter man who has absorbed all his parents immigrant opinions at home #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai
His parents are not middle class anywhere & neither is he #opendata #smartcities #bigdata #ai

THREAD: Are you excited about @Ocasio2018's overwhelming victory tonight?

Good. You should be.

Now here's what you do next.

⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
The first thing I need you to understand is that @Ocasio2018 didn't win because of a viral campaign ad (though it was a pretty kickass ad). She won because a tiny band of fiercely dedicated people BELIEVED she could win.

That's your first task: #Believe
.@Ocasio2018 also didn't crush Crowley because the establishment media suddenly decided to pay attention 3 weeks ago.

Team Ocasio, along with @BrandNew535 & @justicedems who jointly launched her campaign, have worked around the clock to make this, and other victories possible.

I can't with this guy...but interestingly, he's also revealing a lot with each one of these interviews.

Why not just go speak to the Grand Jury? Clearly, it's not about avoiding spending more time talking about the investigation and your experience...

He can't help himself..
#NOW: SAM NUNBERG says he was told he wasn't a target or a subject of the investigation and he was OFFERED IMMUNITY by the Special Counsel's team.

He also said THEY WANT HIM TO TESTIFY...TO CATCH ROGER STONE ON PERJURY...

ADMITTING THAT ROGER MAY HAVE LIED TO PROSECUTORS.
#LOL: Save this one...

SAM NUNBERG: "I'M NOT GOING TO JAIL, COME ON."

1-Wow. What a group. What a group. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you, folks. Thank you, folks. It's great to be right here in Florida, which we love.

In 26 days, we are going to win this great, great state and we are going to win the White House.
2-Our movement is about replacing a failed and corrupt — now, when I say "corrupt," I'm talking about totally corrupt — political establishment, with a new government controlled by you, the American people.
3-There is nothing the political establishment will not do — no lie that they won't tell, to hold their prestige and power at your expense. And that's what's been happening.
